this week where he is denying murder charges, and instead admits to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.In the doorbell footage Reeves is heard telling Jennifer: "You can't park there".She hits back to him: "You don't own the road."The court heard how the seemingly innocuous incident came as 33-year-old Jennifer was learning to drive after buying a new car which she parked on the road as her husband parked his car in their designated space.What troubled Reeves though was that the road parking partially blocked his vehicle.Reeves' wife Kayley explained the cause of tension via a recording played to the jury of an interview she gave to Avon and Somerset Police following the killing.In the recording, she said: "It was bugging him for months, he just let it go by.

But it got to the point where here he was finding it difficult to get in and out of his allocated parked space."So he just told them one day 'look, you can't park there, you're making it difficult for me.' Her husband had already smashed into Collins car.'"Mrs Reeves told the court in person that she also suffered grief from their next door neighbours.

She continued: "If I was in my kitchen she'd walk past and she'd always laugh at me, stick her fingers up at the camera. I could never go and do the school run without her giving me dirty looks."Cross-examined by Jo Martin QC, defending, Mrs Reeves claimed that her soldier-turned lorry driver husband had told her that he was suffering from dark thoughts just before the fatal stabbings.
